My background

Born and bred in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, I spent much of my youth in Hwange National Park, celebrated for its biodiversity and its vast, jaw-dropping landscapes of golden plains etched with marshes and ilala palms, for its huge elephant and buffalo herds, and variety of plains game and birds.

I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.

Hwange was my home away from home. With both parents in the safari industry – my mother in sales and my father a professional guide – I was involved from a young age in work within the park. As I got older, I spent most of my school holidays in Hwange, helping to build camps and driving around filling up boreholes, Hwange’s life source. Hwange will always be my other home. There’s a pan there named ‘Scott’s Pan’” – I am so incredibly blessed to have a piece of Hwange named after me.

My family has been in the safari business ‘for decades’ – my mother and father working for Wilderness, my brother building safari camps. Then there’s me, trying to help people build their perfect safari!

As for my special thrills in the African bush? I love being one of the first people out of camp in the morning. Trying to see what happened during the night, to see what epic sightings we can find out there. And secondly, which I think is many people’s favourite – the ‘African Sundowner’. Sitting by a waterhole or other secluded spot in the Okavango Delta, for instance, cold G & T in hand, just seeing what comes down to drink. It’s always a surprise to see which animals come to visit you.
